Print Updates to iSeries screen W/O SNDBRKMSG??
Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2010 1:29 pm
Looking for 'How To" Advice, if this is even possible.
We have GoAnywhere Director running on a Windows Server.
Our main system is a custom software system running on an iSeries (v5r3 - mainly in S/36EE).
Our users are used to see status messages from an active program printing on a blank screen. They are not comfortable with the screens appearing brought up by SNDBRKMSG and having to hit a key to refresh, etc.
I'm setting up a project to replace a machine specific function, that involved iSeries file transfers to a PC, then a DOS batch script, that then sends data back to the iSeries. The new project uses SFTP and workspaces and I've built in some file validation by counting outgoing records vs returned records. The project would allow any user to run it from their own PC. They would not have an email address to just get the joblog at the end of the project.
Has anyone built a project that would do this?
User has a 5250 screen:
Thanks!
